Let me apologize for my snippy tone, I get carried away sometimes.
I needed to go back a post and edit some of that out. My humor come across better in person than it does in text.

And yeah, time will tell.

The thing is I have become increasingly aware of how fast time is moving past me.

Time used to seem limitless. Like when you mentioned 2008, my auto-response is "yeah that's recent" then I realize its 11 years ago.

And getting really morbid, that means, for example, by 2020 that twelve years worth of voters will have died since 2008. That's about a half a generation of people. And it flew by.

12 years worth of older and probably more conservative democrats will have passed away and have been replaced by 12 years worth of younger more progressive people.

This is why I feel Joe Biden is out party's past and not its future.

It's why I wish younger leadership will step up and take us into the 2020 election.

cough

I get so soapy at times... lol

Cheers!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
